We checked the numbers in our article on prolonged grief against the original studies and corrected what did not match.
What changed
- Treatment results now describe what the clinical trials found, and who was in them, in place of a single percentage.
- How common prolonged grief is now cites the review of fourteen studies the figure comes from.
- Diagnostic timelines now name both the DSM-5-TR and the ICD-11, since they differ.
- Brain imaging findings are described as early, because they rest on small studies.
- Statistics on losing family members now say what the national study measured, and that it measured deaths, not grief.
- Depression alongside grief now gives the range reported in earlier studies, with its source.
- Faith and community are described as a source of support many people find, since the research on how and for whom is mixed.
- A Know Your Roots page and a wellness note received small wording corrections.
- Oji Echo and Hope Echo received the same corrections in the scrolls they draw from.
What did not change
- The article’s purpose: naming prolonged grief, and pointing toward support.
- LEGH’s companions, articles, and education are free, and they stay free.
If you see a figure anywhere on the site that does not match its source, tell us.
